Lion Don Johndrow has been named the Lion of the Year for the year ending in June, 2024. Lion Don has continually demonstrated exceptional dedication and leadership, particularly in our major service objective of "sight." He skillfully led the KidSight Screening Team, overseeing the scheduling, staffing, and participation in fifteen sessions including LVISD Health Fair, the Lago Vista Back to School Bash, the Round Rock Back to School Bash, the Lago Vista Library, the Lago Vista Elementary School, Grace Fellowship and ten schools within the Liberty Hill school district. Additionally, he coordinated the eyeglass collection process and managed the recent refurbishment of the two Lago Vista collection mailboxes.

​

Beyond these responsibilities, Lion Don also maintains the club’s website and handles the marketing and publicity of our events on social media, tasks that require countless hours of continuous attention. His commitment extends further, as he attended all Board and Club meetings, participated in the District Conference on October 21, 2023, helped create the communication form and assemble "Message In Bottle" provisions, and took part in the hot dog distribution at the City’s Christmas Tree Lighting event. Known for his willingness and cheerful demeanor, Lion Don remains a vital contributor to the success of the Lago Vista Lions Club. His outstanding efforts were previously recognized when he was named Lion of the Quarter in the first quarter of 2022-2023. He has also been honored by being selected this year as a Melvin Jones Fellow.
